Speaking to the Major Wrestling Figures podcast, Matt Cardona (Zack Ryder) revealed that WWE asked if they could use his pool to film the recent Otis/Mandy Rose poolside segment on Friday Night SmackDown on FOX.

Cardona mentioned being sat by the pool with his girlfriend, NXT star Chelsea Green, when she told him that 'someone from WWE asked me if Otis and Mandy Rose and a camera crew can come here to film a pool scene for SmackDown.'

Clearly annoyed at WWE's audacity, Cardona claimed that he was 'shaking in anger' and went as far as to say, 'You fired me, but you wanna use my pool?'

The once Zack Ryder was one of the many WWE talents released by the company in April due to budget cuts brought on by the current global situation. In light of his abrupt departure from the company, you can see why he was so offended by the company's enquiry.

Needless to say, WWE eventually ended up using somebody else's pool for the surreal segment, which saw Rose day-dreaming about her new man before he brought her back to reality with a cannonball.
